Mobile and athletic. Good knee bend. Can pull and run to the perimeter. Plays square in pass protection. Will drop his head at times. Keeps his head on a swivel with good eyes and blitz awareness. Mirrors defender on inside rush. Has a good first step and lateral quickness to zone defenders and uses his strong hand placement to sustain his block. Takes good angles to the second level to cut off pursuit. An experienced pass protector with good feet to slide and mirror along the line of scrimmage. Aware to pass off and pick up.
